Figure 7. C. rodentium binding to Muc2.

Figure 7

ELISA plates were coated with the “insoluble” Muc2 complex or with BSA and incubated with biotinylated C. rodentium. Statistics: Mean±SD, *** p<0.001 (t-test, n = 6) (A). Large amounts of bacteria can be found entangled in the secreted Muc2 in C. rodentium infected animals (B–D). By brightfield observation using a 20× lens (B) the Muc2 is visualized as a brown stain, and the presence of large amounts of bacteria within the secreted Muc2 can be seen by reflected light Nomarski differential interference observation (C; 40× lens and D; 100× lens).
